Reg Plate value to Car vale ratio....
Discussion
Around my part of north London I regularly see a dark blue Audi A3Tdi with the registration plate "A3". Now given that it appears to be a pretty standard spec (no S-Line or anything) I'd imagine that the car is probably worth £25k? I could say for sure what "A3" is worth but it must be well into 6 figures, maybe even £500k?
There are plenty of photos around or Veyrons, Ferraris, Zonda etc sporting obscenely expensive plates but I can't remember ever see such a mismatch in values.
Has anyone else spotted seemingly expensive plates on otherwise unexcepional cars?

Back in the day these plates could be had for £5 e.g. "O1" or were original issue.There are plenty of photos around or Veyrons, Ferraris, Zonda etc sporting obscenely expensive plates but I can't remember ever see such a mismatch in values.

Often they are passed down in family.
That A3 plate is well known on the other threads

As is a lot of discussion about how some people have great plates on duff cars!

While I'm generally ambivalent to the whole personalised plate thing, I do believe there is a certain amount of class inherent in having a £100k numberplate on a weatherbeaten Mk2 Golf Driver.
(Ideally with the original Volkswagen dealership stickers in the window, parked on a side street over Mayfair sort of way, but that's probably getting a bit too far into the realm of ridiculous stereotype.)
